Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 508 Card Throwing Practice

After being confessed to by Lilith, Ethan went to the Dining Hall to have breakfast with Luna and Lilian.

He didn’t know whether he should tell them about what had happened earlier. However, after careful consideration, he decided to not say anything for the time being.

Once he finished eating breakfast, he headed to the training room that Professor Barret had allocated to him.

The only one who could access this room, aside from Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret, was Ethan.

This time, his instructor wasn’t the retired Magistratus, but his Other Half, who had momentarily taken over his body.

“I will show you the basics on how to properly throw a card,” Ethan’s Other Half said as he gripped the edge of a card between his index and middle finger. “Since you wish to use cards as a weapon, you need to understand its strengths and weaknesses.

“The first thing you need to know is your maximum range. Depending on your level, your effective throwing range varies. It might only be around two to six meters if you are a beginner. Let’s not talk about accuracy first, because there are a few things that you can do to make your throws more accurate.”

After saying those words, Ethan’s Other Half casually threw the card in his hand, making it fly in the air.

“One of your Origin Magics is the Domain of Trickery and Seduc—um…. Trickery and Sedation,” Ethan’s Other Half coughed lightly before continuing his explanation.

“So, basically, these kinds of tricks fall under that category. Imagine throwing a single card, but those cards multiply into a hundred copies, making your opponent unable to tell which among the cards is real and which are not.

“But, since you didn’t choose that Origin Magic, I will just teach you ways on how to most efficiently throw your cards.”

Sebastian gave his partner a knowing smile because the latter changed the last words of one of Ethan’s Origin Magic.

Knowing that he almost made a blunder earlier, Ethan’s Other Half focused on the topic at hand and demonstrated one of the basic grips used to throw a card.

“Just, so you know, Ethan, it’s easier to cast a spell than to throw a card with accuracy. I suggest that you don’t use your cards unless you have run out of magic,” Ethan’s Other Half suggested. “Of course, you can use it too as an opening act to catch your enemy by surprise. However, you must make sure that whenever you use it, you must make it count.

“The way I see it, your cards can be used in three different ways. The first one is to throw them like so,” Ethan’s Other Half threw a card a second time. “You can activate its effects mid-air, and make the rune magic you imbued in it manifest.

“The second one is to simply activate the rune while you are holding the card in your hand like this.” freeweb(n)ovel

“Ignis!”

The Rune of Fire that was inscribed in the card activated, summoning a Fire Bolt that flew in the direction the card was facing.

“Basically, you don’t have to throw a card to make it work,” Ethan’s Other Half explained. “Using it in this method is more accurate than throwing a card.

“The last method is to surround your enemies with cards and activate them at the same time, creating a synergy effect. This is similar to the trick you used against Professor Barret when the two of you fought against each other.

“By surrounding your target with runic symbols, you can create a trap that would detonate at your command, leaving your enemies with no time to escape or react.”

Ethan and Sebastian nodded their heads in understanding because the explanation was simple and easy to understand.

“These are the only methods you can use right now,” Ethan’s Other Half explained. “However, once you unlock your Second Origin Magic, you will be surprised with how powerful your rune magic will become.

“Just like what I told you earlier, you can casually throw a card and have it multiply into a hundred clones, making it difficult for your enemy to know which one is real or not. But, it doesn’t end there.

“Whatever Rune Magic you have placed in the card you have thrown, the Domain of Trickery will copy its effects to the illusions of the cards, manifesting their effect as well. A single Fire Bolt Spell could multiply into hundreds, and depending on your Mastery of your Second Origin Magic, you can even create thousands of them.

“Perhaps it is only a coincidence, but your Origin Magics seem to compliment each other perfectly, augmenting each other's power and effects.

“Alright, let’s put your Mimir’s Wisdom to work and master how to properly throw a card first.”

Ethan’s Other Half returned the control to Ethan’s body, allowing him to practice his accuracy and range.

There was a training dummy in the Training Room, so Ethan used that as the target of his card throws.

Since the cards he was using were magical in nature and were harder than regular playing cards, the distance of how far he could throw them was farther.

After throwing the cards a hundred times, Ethan found his throws getting more accurate, as if he was developing some kind of muscle memory each time he threw a card.

This was the first time he was putting Mimir’s Wisdom into practice, and its ability to help him learn a technique faster was more efficient than he originally expected.

After three hours of practice, Ethan’s Other Half nodded his head in satisfaction because Ethan could now hit the training dummy six out of ten times from a distance of ten meters.

This progress was incredibly fast, especially since he had just learned how to properly throw cards a few hours ago.

He had only taught the young man the basic throw and had yet to teach him the power throw, which could send his card flying over sixty meters.

While Ethan was getting in the groove of throwing cards, he suddenly entered a trance-like state.

In that state, he didn’t just throw one card, but two cards at the same time, which flew in the air as if they were boomerangs, hitting his target with great accuracy, even cutting off the head of the training dummy from its body.

Sebastian was just about to whistle because of Ethan’s achievement, but Ethan’s Other Half hurriedly covered his lips so that the young man’s trance-like state wouldn’t be broken.

Although it was faint, he had sensed the influence of the Domain of the Trickster temporarily manifesting itself to help Ethan with his training.

He didn’t find this strange at all since his existence itself was part of Ethan’s Second Origin Magic.

Since he could manifest his existence, it also meant that Ethan could also use his god-given powers that had been lying dormant inside his body since the day that his Magic Circuits were destroyed. fr eeweb novel

In fact, if Ethan’s Magic Circuits hadn’t been compromised, the magic that he would have specialized in from the start would be the Domain of the Trickster because it was the First Magic that awakened inside his body.

‘So this is what it means to be Thrice Blessed,’ Ethan’s Other Half thought. ‘Now I understand.’

Ethan had three types of Origin Magic inside his body.

Two of them were from his bloodline, and the last one originated from his soul.

Mimir’s Magic originated from his soul, while the Domain of Trickster belonged to his Father’s side of the family.

As for the last Origin Magic, it was passed down from his Mother’s side of the family, which would be the last Origin Magic that Ethan would unlock after his Magic Circuit was fully healed.

But, the current Ethan was capable of using his Bloodline Origin Magic in small quantities, which synchronized with his current level of power.

Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half watched with great interest as the young man, who was currently in a trance, made his throwing cards fly and dance in the air as if they had a life of their own.
